DIPPE'RS-HANDDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 280,274, dated June 26, 1883.

' Application filed January 18, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN H. H. WILsoN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Saugus, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusettshave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dipper-Handles,

.of which the following is a specification, ref-' erence being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to adjustable dipper-- handles.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the handle attached to a dish. Fig. 2 is an elevation, and Fig. 3 is a plan, of the handle, in all which figures the same part is indicatedby the same letter. I Y

The handle has two jaws, A and B, between which the side of the dish 0 is inserted and held in place by the spring-pressure of the two jaws and by the two hooks D andE clasping the rim of the dish. A single piece of wire is so bent that the two ends form the hooks D and E, and so looped at F as to form a tang for insertion into the wooden part of the handle G and an eye for the pin H. Another loop at I forms the external jaw, A, and another loop at J brings the middle part of the wire into service as the inner jaw, B, which is strengthened by the side loops, K and L.

This handle can be attached to a dish and detached at pleasure. V

Fig. 2, in dotted lines, shows how the wire may be so bent as to dispense with the wooden part of the handle G.

In practice I prefer using wire bent as {LDOXQ specified; but I do not confine myself to the use of wire, as sheet metal can be cut and bent so asto be a substitute for the wire.

4. The adjustable handle, in combinationwith the disk 0, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I hereto affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses, this 3d day of January, 1883.
